law, for using pressure to obtain repay
ment to Messrs. Dreyfus, the bankers,
of $50 900 francs, the amount of duty
payment of which was enforced by the
courts in the famous Peruvian guano
case. The paper says that M. Sadi
Carnot, who was then financial minis
ter, refused to refund the money, when
NJ. Crews assistance was sought, he
having defended Messrs. Dreyfus, and
received 1000 francs in fees. M. Sadl
Carnot was driven from the Office, and
NJ. Dauphin, his successor, proved
more pliable, although M. Bredil, head
of the finance department, strongly
opposed such tampering with the pub
lie money. NJ. Wilson, in an interview
yesterday, asserted that the depart
ment approved the repayment of the
money for various substantial reasons.
Magistrate Alholf re-examined Gen
eral Caffarel yesterday. He found that
the case is not one for civil prosecution.

Mark Tusin's Lost idea.

Mark Twain says that the funniest thing
he ever wrote came to an untimely end and
was lost entirely to tho world. 1t was his
early western days when he >was reporter
oil The Chronicle of Virginia City, New In
those days, when the saloon was tho social
center of the town, and the opening of each
new one matter Of general interest, it was
the custom for the proprietor of n new ven
ture in liquid refreshments to send a basket
of his choicest wares to the newspaper office,
and for the editor to return the compliment
by giving glowing account OF the opening.
One day basket of unusually choice wines
from u saloon that was to DO of an unusually
aristocratic order inspired Mark with
brilliant idea. Ho wrote few lines In
straight good English, but the next began to
be pretty badly mixed, and as lie represented
one bottle after another as having been SAM
pled approved and emptied, he drlfted on
into worse and worse confusion, until he
finally brought up in an inextricable tangle
Of incoherency, such as might be supposed
TO possess the brain of man who had drank
basket of mixed wine. But when the
paper came out he searched it over and
over in vain for his cherished article 1t was
not there. lit he did find brief paragraph,
setting forth in the most commonplace, con-
ventional way imaginable the fact that bas-
ket OF wines had been received from Mr. -,
that they were very fine, and that 1--WE be-
speak for him the liberal patronage he de-
serves" With fire in his eye and profanity
on his lips Mark started on an investigation
and soon settled the blame on the head of ole
of the printers.
"Why," said the fellow, II couldn't make
head nor tail out of the copy, and l concluded
Mr. Clemens must have been pretty full when
he wrote it. heard the editor say last week
that if he got drunk again he'd discharge
him, and | thought if that stuR got into the
paper he'd have to go sure. So | tore 1t up
and wrote this myself Just thought I'd save
his place for him ii 1 could
Before this honest friend, whose zeal for his
welfare had not left piece OF his prized ar
ticle as big as a nickel, Mark could say no
more. But he could not reproduce IT, 1t
had been the swift and brilliant Inspiration
OF the moment, and was completely gone.
But he mourred long over the fate OF what
he always believed to be his most brilliant
production. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

SHOCKING CRIME.

Brutal Treatment by Drunken Revelers.
ST. PAUL, MINI, January 10-Last
night, when the thermometer indicated
some thirty odd below zero, Edward
Meagher, about 30 years old, started to
walk from this city TO Fort Smelling, a
distance of six miles. At Mendoza, a
mile from Fort Smelling, he stopped in o.
public hall where dance was in pro-
gress. Several of the men present were
intoxicated and some of them set upon
Meagher After quarrel shotguns were
produced and four of the half drunken
dancers helped fill Meaghers body with
shot. One charge took effect in his head
and neck, and the other in his limbs. Eight
of the ruffians then bound Meagher hand
and foot, and, placing him uncovered in
a long box sleigh, drove him three miles
to the house of Justice Bryant, where he
was left. The man had bled profusely,
and as the warm blood flowed freely it
froze instantly, fastening the wounded
man to the boards that formed the bot
tom of the sleigh. His hands, face, and
feet were badly frozen, and it seems almost
a miracle that any life was left in him.
He was brought to this city yesterday and
is now at the city hospital. Justice Bry-
ant released the assalants on their own
recognizance, because, he says, tfRy told
him Meagher began the fight. Meag.r

has shown further s'gns of improvement on
a gradual scale and its course tends to con-
firm us in the opinion that it is hardening
considerably both here and abroad. The Lon
don money market seems to be growing
easier. and after the next settlement which
will be finished on Thursday next we should
not be at all surprised to find them buyers
here The advance in sterling exchange
while it precludes for the time being, at all
events any imports of specie will do much
towards helping to remove the uneasy feel
ing that existed there, owing TO the constant
drain of specie The market during the alter
noon became very dull and sold off some
what. but the undertOne was still very
healthy, and the large arbitrage houses look
for good foreign buying very shortly Prices
closed steady. Money sac per cent.
